Kriegstreiber 1: The West should not be talking to Hamas now, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner told The Jerusalem Post Thursday. ... At the conclusion of his speech, he defended Israel's alleged nuclear program after a protester in the audience called for a nuclear-free Middle East and suggested that Israel's nuclear capabilities should be neutralized as a way to create stability in the region.

Kriegstreiber 2: UN: Israel has added dozens of new roadblocks in West Bank. Despite repeated promises to reduce the number of roadblocks in the West Bank, Israel has in fact added dozens of new ones, according to the United Nations. Defense Minister Ehud Barak promised U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice this week to remove 24 roadblocks and consider additional alleviations of movement restrictions on the Palestinians. This followed a similar promise to alleviate movement restrictions that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

However, the number of roadblocks has now reached 572, an increase of 52 percent compared to 376 in August 2005, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). In the past two months alone, Israel put up 40 new roadblocks, OCHA said.

Und was sagt Ehud Barak zu all dem? Nichts, er zeigt den Mittelfinger: Israel mustn`t make concessions to PA to appease outgoing U.S. pres.
